AuthorTopic: Beatles Mastermind - Notes & Queries (Read 12005 times)

This Sunday I'll be posting the first round of questions in the quest to find Dm's Beatles Mastermind.

Each week, for ten weeks, I'll be posting ten questions in ten separate categories, including pictures, video's, and soundclips. Some will be easy, and some pretty tough, so you'll need to get your thinking caps on.

The first six categories are straight question and answer rounds. 'The Big Picture' will feature someone, or something that you have to identify. For instance, it may be an album cover, or someone associated with the group. 'Name That Tune' will consist of a video of The Fabs, but without the sound. You have to identify the song. In 'Beat The Intro' you'll be given a short soundclip of a song intro. But keep your ears pinned back because they are very short. 'The Big Finish' will be a difficult 10 point question, to sort the men from the boys!

Here are the categories. Good luck!

Pepper, The Walrus, and beyondAnd In The EndGet Back to Abbey RoadAt The MoviesTest your knowledge of The Beatles in filmQuote UnquoteWho said what?The Big PictureWho or what is that?Name That TuneVideos of The BeatlesBeat The IntroIdentify the song and win the pointsThe Solo YearsTest your knowledge of the post Beatles eraThe Big FinishThe big ten pointer!

The Scoring SystemTwo points will be given for every correct answer, unless specified otherwise. For instance, in the case of a two part question, points will be awarded accordingly. Ten points will be awarded for 'The Big Finish' question. A further five points will be awarded to anyone who answers all questions correctly.

Please do not post your answers on the forum. PM them to me with the heading 'Mastermind', no later than 12 noon GMT on Sunday.

Or the women from the girls!

Sounds fun, Paul. What happens if someone has to miss a week due to travel? Automatic out?

If someone lets me know in advance that they're going to be away, it's possible that I could PM them the questions early - if I have them, or delay giving the answers out for a couple of days. We'll see what happens.

You're not out if you don't play one week. But you will be behind in the points. I'll be posting the points table with the answers each week.

I think you should only ask questions that you think I know. Otherwise, I'll probably lose!

Fine option on the "going away" business. I may be here, but I never know. Cheers.

I could have sworn I saw a post last week asking a similar question, but I don't remember seeing your answer BM, and I can't locate that post anymore ...

Thanks, I'll delay answering until I know what resources I can use to answer the questions (sorry ahead of time if this is explained somewhere else that I can't find at the moment), and until the "Name that Tune" video for week 1 is up and running (doesn't work here).

You can do whatever you like!

I don't know why the vid isn't working. It works for me. Maybe I'll just put the link to YouTube.
